It’s as simple as that.

I accepted this long ago but it still kinda sucks to be reminded.


Yea the more I pay attention the more I get the impression that this is the case. Sure wish we had engaged, aggressive ownership like Dallas but I'm pretty sure the Devos trust is pretty comfortable just sitting and doing nothing. They are more into their Christian bs, Hockey and buying as much real estate as they possibly can.

This trade wasn't some conspiracy - it was just a GM wanting AD bad enough where in most people's eyes he overpaid by a long shot to get him.

Remember when I said it is quite likely that they view Fultz as that "savy veteran PG to be in place until Black comes of age."

Maybe we didnt make a trade because we are right where we want to be as far as progress is concerned? Over .500 with the Play In / Playoffs probable

I don't care what anyone says that was lazy managing. They could have made an easy minor move to bring another shooter but they don't want to.

I guess no move is better than the wrong move but I was expecting at least one move...

Too many underperforming and bad offensive players currently. Mose got them playing defense at least but only goes so far.

Not making a move wouldn’t bother me as much if AB and Jett were getting minutes. The team literally gave Queen more minutes than their lotto pick. Somehow Utah finds minutes for Keyonte. Somehow OKC finds minutes for Cason. But we can’t because we’re supposedly focused on winning… while trotting out subpar shooters night in and night out.

I don't want to s*** on Fultz, it's not his fault he is broken. But man, how blinded you have to be to watch this team every night and not see problems. And collect several million dollars for it. Every year. And elect to do almost nothing. Every year.

And that's just it.... how as fans could anyone be ok with this??? If this was any have way decent/competent organization they would have been in a riot if moves where not made to improve the teams.

Especially when the said moves are clear as day that need to be made. It's just comical at this point from top to bottom. This is why no one takes this organization serious.

Does anyone thong the heat would have just sat on there hands and did nothing as the deadline past them??? Just crazyv


Because the fanbase for this team is mild at best. Hell, there is no real passion for any prefessional Florida sports team if we are being real. Perfect place to enjoy warm weather, no income tax and no pressure from fans to accomplish anything.

I don't think that's a certainty. They're still kids essentially. They're also great friends with everyone on the roster. They're probably relieved everyone is still here.

I know they want to win and would like more spacing, but they're humans too.

You have incredible amount of expiring money that will be gone , you have logjam of assets that can't see the floor, majority of moves people wanted were very low risk moves that would inhance our playoff/play in chances and we elect do to **** nothing.

It's just lazy BS right here.

They could’ve phoned in a trade for a guy at the 15th roster spot and at least it would look like you’re trying.

Someone has to start feeding Anthony Black his 3rd scoring option vitamins for this organic build to pan out.

Water Suggs down into a cheap 3&D specialist.

Keep Paolo + Franz + Suggs + Black

Keep Jett howard in G-League until we resign him to cheap.

Profit.
